I think Sagitar will be a really cool inclusion into the Classics line. I'm not exactly sure how he'll be engineered but I think we'll need to see Stridor and Nightstalker before we get a better idea how his mechanics will work. (i.e. are their hind quarters manueverable enough to stand on) If he has any reused parts, it would likely be from the techno-horses, imo.

He will probably be impressively large when standing. In my mind taller than Shadowbeast but smaller than Megator.

So bring him on as a quarterly, if I ventured a guiess I'd say between 2014-2016.

Now they have the Jetlag rights there's probably more chance of use getting this guy with the visor from cartoon, which seem to be what most people want If they just make the visor removable then we can have both versions and visor should also also be able to move up and down like Flipshot's shown at SDCC.

This would be cool indeed. I figure they will get to him in time and I am sure it will be kickin'. I'm all for it, the vintage toy is pretty cool. It looks kind of silly, but when you have it in hand it's neat.

Having now seen the visor on the Icarius figure is removable I think we have a good chance of Sagitar having a removable visor so we can have both toy and cartoon versions of the helmet and also having the visor able move up and down like I said in my above post.

I don't think Sagitar has to be "beast" sized. I would be fine with him being a deluxe figure a-la Ram Man and the Comet Warriors, and likely Extendar. He obviously has to be bigger than a standard figure, but doesn't have to be the size of Battle Cat/Panthor.

I don't know that I see them putting that many tooling resources towards an NA character, though, unfortunately. As cool as all the NA figures have turned out so far, they haven't been as popular compared to other figures (at least when you look at the secondary market). He'd definitely be a cool addition, though.

On a side note...I've watched many episodes of the NA toon lately, and didn't realize that his name was pronounced SAG-A-TAR (like the word sag). I've always pronounced it as SAJ-A-TAR (kind of like sagitarious). Personally I still prefer my pronunciation, but am starting to adapt to the "correct" way to say his name.

I'm starting to like the idea of this character. He's very reminiscent of another, more classic sci-fi staple. Hopefully his MOTUC figure will have the usual removeable armor and not the lame mounting feature.

Not necessarily. He just seems to be a double torso like an Edgar Rice Burroughs Martian. Or a human centipede.

The Half-figure extra height I mentioned is accounting the double torso.

FINALLY!! GLIMMER IS IN MY SHELF!! Now I need a Crita!! Crita is to Mara what Evil Lyn is to Teela. If we ARE getting Mara, then we NEED Crita.

Ok, will 2014 be the year for this character?
I feel they need to have another NA Guardian for that year what better opportunity than a figure that alot of motu fans are talking about & fits as a beast figure. Soon I can feel it.
